Wow. September’s nearly gone. Has it been a whole month since my last Wine of the Month post? I reckon it has. Well, this month’s pick, Berry’s Australian Shiraz was definitely worth the wait. It’s a big ole dark and juicy wine, just crying out for a giant slab of accompanying meat or maybe a nice cigar. Alas, I have neither. Still with its sweet plummy, spicy tones, it stands well on its own and is more than doing the trick as I finish up a bit of work and watch bad American crimes shows on Channel 5. The folks at Berry Bros & Rudd reckon this is a good wine for BBQs. I’d like to add that it’s nice for a quiet night in as well … and at £8.30 per single bottle or £7.45 as part of a case (with free delivery until the 30th of this month – yeah, I know that’s really soon), it can be a fairly inexpensive night as well.
